Bowel - large bowel - descending colon - sigmoid

The sigmoid is the area of the descending colon (before the rectum) where faeces accumulate prior to being released. It is located at the end of the left colon or descending colon, followed by the rectum and the anus.

In carnivores, it is short. In herbivores, it is long. Humans who have a short sigmoid are more carnivorous.

Humans with a long sigmoid are more vegetarian. A carnivorous human (one with a short sigmoid) must not become vegetarian.

Colon cancer, like all cancers, is associated with a great tension that the person experienced and did not verbalize, kept well hidden. This tension is associated with unhappiness at home, a feeling that the person was the victim of some dirty and infamous deed.

Any inflammation of the sigmoid is connected with the Mother. Cancer of the descending colon is more frequent in the sigmoid and the rectum.

The person should adopt a more yin behaviour but, instead, he does not want to let go of what has caused the tension he is undergoing. The person is too yang, to competitive, too masculine.
